The Horseshoe Hill train crash in Caledon, Ont. killed seven people on September 3, 1907. It affected countless families across Ontario but it also brought some good. A group of women used the tragedy to bring Orangeville its first hospital.
In this episode of Living History, we’ll visit the site of the wreck, see the old railway roadbed, explore the health care legacy as it stands today in Orangeville, and hear how this deadly railway would claim more lives until the day it was ripped up.

Thank you to everyone for checking out this inaugural episode! Next Thursday I'll be sharing a 'footnotes' video that contains a bit more of the back-story of how this video came together, and may feature some of your comments. Episode two will air the following week. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
Warren, it’s a pleasure to accompany you on this journey.
Your documentation and presentation of Ontario's history is absolutely first-rate! Thank you!
Thank you for the kind comment, Henry!
I knew it. I knew this guy would go far. Love seeing the locations and hearing from the people who have the scoop on the story!
That stretch of road now is so cursed. Accidents on it around that area all the time. Just in the past 3 months we know of a car that rolled, a pickup that rolled and my son in law ended up in the ditch on its side. All single vehicle accidents. And that’s just what we know of. My older brother swears he saw a man walking down the side of the road with a lantern before he disappeared right in front of his car… that was about 10 years ago. We stay off that stretch now.
That is so interesting, thank you for sharing!
It’s because of how bad drivers are in this area. I live around here, and people fly up and down that road doing well over 100. Add the speed and lack of driving skills and that’s what you get
@@jackdough8164 100% agree. When I’m doing 110 on hwy 10 and people are getting angry and swerving around me and doing 125+ there is an issue. The amount of impatient entitled drivers in and around Orangeville is shocking.
I've been looking forward to watching this all day! Wonderful job Warren, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!
Good job, Warren!
Means a lot coming from you, thank you Jozsef!
Wow, fantastic first episode Warren! Great production, great story! Looking forward to episode 2!
Thanks very much, Julian! Two weeks to go til the next episode but I've got some bonus content coming your way next week.
Amazing work as always bud!

@@WarrenTheReporter Agreed, fantastic newspaper for those of us trying to stay in touch with the island community while we are elsewhere.
What an interesting story! Loved watching the video, and I can't wait for the next one!
Hearing about historical events near such familiair areas is so fascinating. An incredible way to kick off the Living History series! Looking forward to learning more :)
Hey Warren, This is great work. So interesting. Thanks for telling me what you've been up to. Looking forward to watching more. Will share with the family.

That's so kind, thank you very much for watching and commenting, Richard! It was lovely to spend some time with you this weekend as well :)
Wonderful doc Warren!
Well done Warren! I find the history fascinating and it is nice that you have helped to keep this accident from fading from memory. Great to hear how the accident while tragic spurred action in the area to prevent and help in other incidents.
Great work, Warren! I've been looking forward to watching this since you first told me the idea for this series. I can't wait for more!
Thanks so much, Jake! You've been a longtime supporter, even before you knew what you were supporting, and I'm so grateful for folks like you! Only a few days to go until episode two!
This is super interesting!! Thanks for bringing us this story!
Congratulations on your premiere episode. Very interesting and informative. Well done Warren!
Fascinating! Congratulations on the premiere of your series - can’t wait to see future episodes.
Thanks for the kind words! Happy to have you along for the ride.
I don't know what to think about IODE,built hospitals,saved lives, but had thoughts that we discovered were bad fifteen minutes ago.thats a tough one.
That little segway was completely irrelevant to the subject matter being discussed. Injecting modern politics/moralities (eg white guilt) into every sphere is tiresome. All I wanted to hear about was railroad history.
Warren, that is one poorly designed set of circumstances, right curves and a steep grade. It looks like flat farmland in your video, but it certainly is not.
This story reminds me a bit of the Amagasaki derailment.
Very interesting, I wasn't familiar with that crash so I did a quick read on it. Thanks for sharing that, and for checking out this video!
your videos are cool from Elyse and lasse
